The great game that is going on up
on the European chessboard promises
results never dreamed OF before in the
widest period OF speculation. Russia
has awakened to some sense OF men,

Therefore, a road is to be buift across
Siberia to the sea of Ochotsk. The
cost is something unparalleled in the
history OF road building, but the Gov

THE NUMBER TOO HIGH
For present purposes, however, the last
number given should be considerably re-
duced. Without attempting to enumerate
all, it will be conceded that there should be
deducted from these which it includes $780,
143 carpenters and joiners, 285. 4O1 MILL
ners, dressmakers and seamstresses, 172. 7Z6
blacksmiths. 1873, 756. tailors and tailoresses.
1O2. 473 masons, rs, 241 butchers, Al 800
bakers, 22, O83 plasterers and 4, S91 engaged
in manufacturing agricultural implements,
amounting in the aggregate to 1.214.O23,
leaving 2.623, OS9 persons employed in
such manufacturing industries as are
claimed to be benefited by high tariff.
To these the appeal is made to save their
employment and maintain their wages by
resisting change. There should be no dis
position to answer such suggestions by the
allegation that they are in a minority among
those who labor, and therefore should fore
go an advantage, in the interest OF low
as may be affected by the operation of tariff
laws, should at all times be kept scrupul-
ously in view; and yet, with slight refiec-
ton they will not overlook the fact that they
are consumers with the rest; that they, too,
haze their own wants anc those Of their
families to supply from their earnings, and
that the price of the necessaries of life, as
well az the amount Of their wages. will regu-
late the measure of their welfare and COM
fort. But the reduction Of taxation de-
m0uO0u 6nOulu De 80 measured as not to
necessitate or Justify either the loss Of en-
ployment by the workingman nor the lessen
Ing OF his wages; and the profits still re-
manning to the manufacturer, after neces-
sary reimbursement. should furnish no excuse
for the sacrifice Of the interests Of his en-
ployes, either In their opportunity to work
or IN the dimfnution Of their compensation.
Nor can the worker in manufactures fail to
understand that while q high tariff is claimed
to be necessary to allow the payment
Of remunerative wages, It certainly results
all sorts Of manufactures, which, in almost
countless FORMS he needs for the use Of him
self and his family. He receives at the desk

SUPPLEME EN- 7.

The total fire loss during November
reached $16.OO3,975. an increase OF
5000, 900 over the same month last
year. This is the heaviest November
on record, except at the time OF the
Boston FIRE; and If the December loss
es this year merely equal those OF
1886 the total fire waste OF 1887 will
be $3.50. 156. 400. against SIG, 6O0,-

The magnitude OF the internal COM
merce of the United States is strikinsiy
illustrated by the fact that the trade OF
the Lake Superior region alone, which
passes through the Sault Ste. Marie
canal, much exceeds in number of YES
sells and almost equals in tonnage
that which passes through the Suez
canal. In value the latter is much
greater, since the sreights OF the steam
ships using the Suez canal consists
largely OF goods of high cost compared
with their bulk or weight, while the
freights from Lake Superior are chiefly
raw materials, such as iron ore, cop
per, grain and lumber. The average
number OF tons passed through the
Sault Ste. Maria canal in a day exceeds
that of the Suez canal, though the
yearly tonnage is a trifle less because
the former is closed by ice for about
one hundred and forty days of the
year, while the latter of course is con-
stantly open. But if the increase for
the present year in the Lake Superior
traffic should equal that Of the last,
che yearly tonnage will surpass
that Of the eastern ditch. The
canal at the falls of Ste. Marie was
opened in 1855. It had then a lock
with two chambers, and would pass
vessels drawing eleven and halt feet
of water. It's traffic for the FIRST year
was 100, 900 tons. Ten years later
it was roc, 900, and in 1875, $780,
600 tons. Then new lock was be-
,Yun, and was opened for business in
sS1. It is the finest work of it's kind
the world, It's length is SIS feet,
J, width 80 feet, and it will pass ves-
g drawing 16 feet OF water. Since
that time the traffic has increased
enormously. Last year It reached
the total of 4, 527, 759 tons, and the
estimate for this year, based on the
great increase during the early part OF
the summer, when the latest returns
were made. is $500, 900 tons, or
about one hundred thousands tons
greater than that of the Suez canal
for last year. The estimated car acity
Of the canal is ninety six vessels daily.

vessels passed through it, so that it's
ultimate capacity is nearly reached.

enlarged dimensions in every way,

Caswell, Person aud Alamanee peo-
pie, who haul their tobacco to Dur

Orange, have good roads to travel
over. Good roads can be had if the
magistrates will try. Many of the

be literally helped to put their roads
into condition. They have done well
with what few hands they have.
Help these men out from the town
